sorry for that I misread your original post, I believe to take an ota you need to have the stock recovery, you should be able to find the ruu file for the ota, is there a specific reason why you only plan to update to 3.17? The 4.13.651.4 ruu is available, granted it does wipe internal storage but it changes the data partition so you in the end have more internal storage and Android 4.3 sense 5 is amazing, my phone runs great now, no glitching or freezing on me. Just food for thought.

I'm assuming he's doing it from stock (before the newer RUU, that is) to apply the fix. There wasn't a Heartbleed bug when the 4.13 RUU was compiled. Now if there was a way to extract the revised files to use on the latter RUU, we'd be onto something.

I can't run the ruu on my wife's phone because the usb port is skewed up and only will charge, will not stay connected to the computer.

And my brother is to lazy to transfer is internal storage to the computer, he is soff, so I was wondering if he flashed the stock recovery if he could install the update with no issues
